Brewing Instructions

For best results, begin with freshly drawn cold water, bring to a boil, then allow to cool to appropriate temperature. Pre-warm the chawan (matcha bowl) and chasen (bamboo whisk) by rinsing with hot water. Discard water and dry thoroughly. Measure four rounded chashaku (bamboo scoops), approximately 2 tsp, of pre-sifted matcha and add it to the bowl. Gently pour 4 oz of water, approximately 180 degrees Fahrenheit, into the bowl.
Gently whisk the contents of the bowl for approximately 30 seconds. When ready, this tea should be a deep glossy green color with a smooth and noticeably viscous consistency. Savor with small sips and enjoy!
